Aqaba
Aqaba
Aqaba is Jordan's window onto the Red Sea, combining warm weather, beaches and marine activities with easy access to Wadi Rum. Clear Gulf waters and coral reefs support swimming, snorkelling, diving and boat trips.
About This Landmark
Discover Aqaba
Away from the water, travellers can explore the market, enjoy seafood and watch the surrounding mountains change colour at sunset. The city also makes a restful finish to an archaeology-heavy itinerary.
A stay of two nights or more works well, often paired with Wadi Rum on a southern Jordan route.
